Welcome to a new day on this blog.
We all know that the major method of treating cancer is by using chemotherapy and radiation. However these methods have very horrible after-effect that makes it very unbearable for cancer patients. However recently there has been the suggestion that monitoring your diet can help kill the cancer cells and decrease the extent to which you might need chemotherapy and radiation.
Here are a few things that you need to avoid/consume to help you fight cancer cells in your body. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
Cancer cells feeds on some foods and survive. Examples are:
1. Sugar: It is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like aspartame should not be used too because it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be honey and molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. A better alternative is Bragg’s aminos or sea salt.
2. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
3. Cancer cells thrive in acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
4. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. It is best to drink purified water or filtered water to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, so avoid it.
5. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
You can however consume a diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruit while 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (and eat fresh fruits) including bean sprouts and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40oC).
Hope you enjoyed today’s article. Love to see you next time. Remember to let your family and friends know about what you learn here, it could save their lives.
Remain beautifully blessed, Bim nubi.

FACTS ABOUT CANCER CHEMOTHERAPY AND RADIATION
Hi you guys. I have an article on cancer chemotherapy and radiation that I hope would help you a lot.
Cancer is usually managed using chemotherapy and radiation. Chemotherapy is used as a palliative measure and to prolong life. It may involve the use of cytotoxic drugs, steroid hormones and immunotherapy. However chemotherapy and radiation have some certain aspects that cause discomfort to patients undergoing the treatment. They include:
Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and cause organ damage like the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs.
Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy does not result in more tumor destruction.
When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation, the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
With all these complication or undesirable effect that chemotherapy and radiation has, they are still the major methods of dealing with cancer. They give cancer patients the hope of living a better and healthier life.
However there might be a new way of complimenting the efforts of chemotherapy and radiation, thereby reducing the amount of exposure to these methods. Want to know about it? Join me next time and you would know because I am not letting the cat out of the bag.
Hope you are truly informed. Like I always say, let all your family and friends know about what you learn here, it is your duty to them.
Till I come your way next time, it’s your girl, Bim nubi saying ‘Remain beautifully blessed’. Ciao.

FACTS ABOUT CANCEROUS/CANCER CELLS
Hi ya all, hope you are doing great and have not missed me too much? I have a wonderful piece on cancer cells that might make you sad and spur you into eating and living healthy. But it is important that I share it with you. The most important way to fight any disease is with knowledge, by knowing what causes it, how to prevent it and adhering strictly to its preventive ways we can reduce the chances of acquiring the disease (I hope you understand what I am trying to say).
It would be wonderful if you don’t keep this information to yourself but share with others. Hope you are enlightened with it.
Here are the facts:
Fact #1: Every person has cancer cells in the body (that is not good to know). These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. This means that when doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it is because the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells as they have not reached the detectable cells.
Fact #2: Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s lifetime.
Fact #3: Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level (i.e. the body’s cells). Now you have one more reason to exercise. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
Fact #4: When a person’s immune system is strong, the cancer cells will be destroyed and be prevented from multiplying and forming tumors. So try to take lots of fruits and vegetables to help improve your immune system.
Fact #5: When a person has cancer it indicates such person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. It could also be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
Fact #6: Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from / eating less of meat, it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body‘s killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
Know that cancer is a disease of the mind, body and spirit. Having a proactive and positive spirit would help the cancer patient to be a survivor. Anger, resentment and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life (everyone should do that).
Hope you enjoyed today’s piece. Remember to share what you have learnt with other people.
Stay beautifully blessed, your girl, Bim nubi. Ciao.

WELCOME
Hi ya all.
Welcome to the blog dedicated to giving you quality information about the disease called Cancer (breast cancer to be specific). Breast cancer is rapidly causing the death of a lot of women and even affecting a few men. The best way to treat is to detect it early and get rid of it before it spreads to other parts of the body.
The best way to prevent the spread of breast cancer is by learning as much as you can and using the information gotten to change not only your life but also those of the people around you.
I would also direct you to organizations that are helping in the reduction of the spread of breast cancer.
Hope you love everything you read here.
See you soon, Bim nubi. Ciao.
